MK 51 7 Z

Headers, Male Pins Overview

The Fischer Elektronik MK 51 7 Z is a single-row male pin header designed for through-hole PCB mounting. It features 7 positions with a 0.100 inch (2.54 mm) pitch. The connector utilizes copper alloy contacts with tin-plated posts and gold-plated mating surfaces, specifically nickel plus 0.2 micrometers of gold. Rated at 1.5 A and 60 VDC, it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The insulation material is polyamide (PA46), glass-filled, meeting UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

Headers, Male Pins Feature Summary

• Precision rectangular PCB connection with solder and plug pins
• High-reliability contact system featuring gold-plated mating surfaces
• Robust construction using glass-filled polyamide insulation
• Designed for efficient electronic assembly in board-to-board applications

Headers, Male Pins Applications

• Board-to-board interconnections
• Wire-to-board connections
• General electronic assembly requiring precise alignment

Headers, Male Pins Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official Fischer Elektronik documentation to ensure compatibility with required current ratings and environmental conditions. Confirm that the tin-plated post finish aligns with your soldering process requirements. Ensure the gold thickness on the mating surface meets your conductivity and corrosion resistance specifications for the intended application environment.

Headers, Male Pins Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, single-row male header is required for reliable signal or power transmission. The 2.54 mm pitch ensures compatibility with standard ribbon cables and mating connectors. Consider the 1.5 A current rating and 60 VDC voltage limit to ensure safe operation within your circuit design parameters without exceeding thermal limits.

Headers, Male Pins Part Context

This component belongs to the Fischer Elektronik MK 51 series of male headers. The series is characterized by its specialized rectangular PCB connection geometry, which facilitates accurate alignment during assembly. The 'Z' suffix typically denotes specific plating configurations or packaging variations within the manufacturer's catalog, distinguishing it from other variants in the same family.

Headers, Male Pins Replacement Considerations

Compatible mating parts include Fischer Elektronik female headers such as MK LP 41 7 Z, MK LP 42 7 Z, and MK 05 7 Z, which share the same 7-position, 2.54 mm pitch specification. Verify mechanical dimensions and contact plating compatibility before substitution.
